As one of the most prominent temples in Bihar as well as that of India, the Mahavir Mandir stands tall to the admiration and delight of millions of devotees who swarm the temple annually to seek solace in its premises. It is considered a 'manokamna' mandir where devotees come to get their prayers and wishes answered.
